I have gone through the Android guide for other IDEs, and I’ve got the basic build and install working fine using ant and a simple Emacs compile command. I’m aware of some of the existing tools for developing Java and XML in Emacs. I’ve also seen the EmacsWiki page recommending two Emacs packages, EmDroid and android-mode

I’d like to hear what people recommend, in terms of Emacs packages, small functions, or just workflows.

As a side note, I have decent familiarity with Eclipse, and I did setup the ADT plugin. However, emacs is my primary editor, and I’d like to see how I can use it here.

    Currently android-mode.el is in better shape, plus you can easily fork it to add your own submissions to the developers over Github.

    Both of the modes are pretty basic however, and just give you a set of functions to call the various Android development tools.

    You are probably aware of jde and ant-mode.el – if you’re not, I’ve just mentioned them.

    They’ll help you with the general Java / Ant support you’ll need for Android SDK development.
